Ha ha cheesy

This one doesn't even know that Zuckerberg decamped grin

While calling Zuckerberg? Who is he? You don't need to look up to anyone because of temporary things you can acquire by simply engaging your mind productively.

If the young man doesn't have money I wonder who will desire to know his religion.

FUNNY...it's a nice, soft paper.
Seek god in truth and you wld realize he is only an invention of man. People who believe in god only do so because they have not really sought him/it/she in truth

Seems Christianity is making a comeback if it's that important to Facebook. Even in US politics has become a winning formula.

You are not to defend the faith with human success even when they are divinely empowered. Anyone can make a success of anything by applying simple basic principles.

There are commentd that are not even worth an ounce of attention.

God tries no body everyone according to scripture is tempted when he is drawn away and is enticed. You may ask was job tempted? Yes! When fear of his safety became his priority he became a prey for trial. This is not physical, it is a spiritual law.

What connection does job had in the discussion between God and Satan?

His fear created that loophole.

Whosoever breaks the hedge, the serpent will bite him. It doesn't matter who the person is. These are spiritual laws. They stand like gravity in the physical.
Which kind of nonsense are u saying. The bible clearly states that God boasted about job to Satan and allowed Satan to deal with him to prove his point...

U are obviously not well informed, the only places Christianity is making any comeback is the underdeveloped world. The countries with high literacy levels are becoming less religious... Churches are being converted to night clubs in some countries and u are here looking for a face to laugh in. Shame!

Job set the stage with the fear of his safety. It is to every man, including job according to his faith or fear. This is what Jesus came to teach so that we can avoid the mistake of those who went before us.

Every blessing or curse has a precedence which is always set by man not God. This is eternal truth. You understand it, you live a good life. You don't you spend your year regretting or casting and binding devils.

You already are atheist, based on what you have written. Waiting a week is not even necessary.

I agree with you. There are often steps in such major transitions. However given where you are currently, I can say as an atheist that you are almost at the end of your journey.

Am not sure if you will be able to understand these things am gonna be telling you,but I hope you do and at least I have done my part in trying to help you.
About good and evil, the truth is that Christianity has painted unreal things real especially in the aspect of good and evil, they believe good things are from God why evils are from satan.They tell people the world created by God is innocuous,that's why they run from pastors to pastors in the name of solving problems, this is not leaving Muslims that shamelessly run from Alfas to Alfas to help them solve thier problems.
Evil and suffering exist to test mankind's faith
Suffering is a part of this life, but if we prove worthy, there will be no suffering in the next.We Muslims believe that goods and evils are from God, their are things we humans consider evils but they are not evils,intact they are good for us in the long run.
The Quran says...
"And certainly, We shall test you with something of fear, hunger, loss of wealth, lives and fruits, but give glad tidings to as-sabirun (the patient ones)." [Al-Qur'an 2:155]
also, regarding the point,why Allah does put anyone in pain, Allah says in Quran:
and it may be that you dislike a thing which is good for you and that you like a thing which is bad for you. Allah knows but you do not know.' (Surah Baqarah: 216)
“The life of a believer is truly amazing. Everything that happens to him is good. This is only true for a believer and none else. If something pleasant happens to him, he is thankful and that is good for him. If something bad afflicts him, he is patient and that is also good for him.” (Muslim)
Affliction is part of the test of life. If God were to interfere and prevent every bad thing from happening to each individual, it would be like taking the test away from a student.
Saying that the bad that exists in the world is
necessary does not mean that it is justified or
praiseworthy . Believers are always commanded to enjoin the good and forbid the evil, which is another test in itself.
Being able to see the big picture often affects how we perceive what is good and bad. Someone with little foresight may claim that the injection of a vaccine into a patient, which contains traces of disease, is a bad thing while the injection of heroin, which leads to euphoria, is a good thing. Not being able to understand that the vaccine will help develop immunity to that disease or that taking heroin will develop into a drug addiction is due to a lack of medical knowledge and experience.
God said:
“We sent messengers before you [Prophet] to many communities and afflicted their people with suffering and hardships, so that they might learn humility. If only they had learned humility when suffering came from Us! But no, their hearts became hard…” Qur’ān 6:42-43
God said:
“Do people think they will be left alone after saying, ‘We believe’ without being put to the test? We tested those who went before them: God will certainly mark out which ones are truthful and which are lying.” Qur’ān 29:2-3
Upon analysis, we realize that the Prophets, who are the highest in rank in the sight of God, faced the most difficult tests of all people. Clearly, merit must be earned.
It should be patently clear that the inability to see the wisdom behind something should not be a cause of criticizing that thing. Of course, the final analysis concerning all of this is: God knows best.This is just like a child being beaten by the parent, to the child, what the parent is doing is painful,evil and wicked, but to the parent, what they are doing is best for the child,intact it shows they are good parent. Remember our brain when we were in our mothers belly, our brain when we were very little, and our brain now, also a time is coming that our brain will start diminishing, what am trying to tell here is that their was a time when we were little that we do some things and perceive them to be right but now we recall and say ""ohh, I was soo stupid then"",this is the same as that there are some things that we may not just understand and be able to reason out now,one of it may be why must evils happen to us,how can God be somewhere watching all of us in this universe,Nigeria, America,Britain etc,so large a place, how can God watch all of us,etc..Imagine what would have happened if our brain grows 10times in it current speed and in multiples for 1000years, imagine how we will look at today and be like """ohh I was stupid then""





No body should quote me except op, thanks
Sorry dear.
If you write Bullshyte, you have to be quoted, and possibly flogged, of course with rod of Finely measured common sense. cheesy

Now , if in the final analysis, only god knows best and works in mysterious ways, then, is Religion, the entire edifice erected for worship and glorification of god, not a great waste of time and energy, redundant and superfluous ?
